[Mr. John McWilliam in the Chair]

Before we come to amendment No. 365, I ask the indulgence of hon. Members. As they can hear, I am not my usual cheerful self, and I apologise in advance if I am less kind and considerate than I normally am.

On a point of order, Mr. McWilliam. You ask us to treat you kindly, so I shall ask you whether I may take my jacket off before I do so.

Gentlemen may remove their jackets if they wish. Ladies do not have to ask.Clause 245 General purpose of this Part
